Well, I'm a little closer to finding out about the store I told you about. But to my surprise, this scenario has happened more often than I thought. I sent an inquiry to the MO Lottery people and this is the response I got.My Question:Is there a store here in MO that has produced more than one jackpotwinner(at different times) ? I thought I heard there was one near KCsomewhere that has produced jackpot winners more than once...Thanks for any info.The Answer from Lottery Officials:Dear Bryan,Than... [ More ]

Ms Hiatt hit Powerball when it was annuity-only. If this ticket holder makes the wrong choice, it would be the largest US lottery prize to not be paid in cash.

Not really. There are stores near borders that are destination stores. They have multiple lottery machines and sell multiple winning tickets. Stores not near borders aren't going to get all that traffic from a neighboring state though.

Yah that's quite amazing. I would not be surprised if Pam had a system that she got lucky with the first time, and used her millions to leverage this win.

I think the odds of selling multiple jackpots anywhere, at any store, over any period of time has to be incredibly low. Don't ya think

Kind of odd since Boise is not near a border. Odds of any store not near a border selling multiple winners has to be very low.

On forums it's very common to misspell. Trust me you'll do it too. LOL.

Yes, here in MO there is a place near Kansas City that has a little out of the way convenience store that has produces two multi-millionaires for sure and I won't swear that it hasn't been 3. I'll see if I can find out the name of the place. I was staying up there with friends while attending a workshop and they lived just down the road from this store, they pointed it out but we never stopped. And when I said it was out of the way that's what I meant. Is it located on an outer road away from... [ More ]

Good catch, I had to read it twice. Imagine that, hard enough to win this thing but the same store sells two winners. To anyone's knowledge, has that ever happen before? Not that I am aware, not even in a ten year span. Historical moment perhaps. Does anyone think one place, such as this one could be more lucky than all other stores? I don't know, makes ya think though. cheers,

Did you see that key sentence It is the same store that sold an $87 million winning ticket about 10 years ago to Boise resident Pam Hiatt.

We have not even heard from them, and I'm leaving the office at 4 p.m., Idaho Lottery spokeswoman Patricia Wellman said late yesterday afternoon. But based on what he won, he mig... [ More ]
